● The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020 is meant for a national framework on farming agreements that protects and empowers farmers to engage with agri- business firms, processors, wholesalers, exporters or large retailers for farm services and sale of future farming produce at a mutually agreed remunerative price framework in a transparent manner. ● The other Bill - Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020 - is meant to provide for the creation of an ecosystem where the farmers and traders enjoy the freedom of choice relating to sale and purchase of produce through competitive alternative trading channels to promote efficient, transparent and barrier-free inter-state and intra-state trade.

● Backdoor laws ● Let us begin by noticing the timing and the method of these ordinances. Even the advocates of these laws agree that none of these have anything to do with the coronavirus or the lockdown. ● These changes do not even pretend to address the demands or the acute needs of the farmers during this period of distress. So, its inclusion in the Covid ‘relief package’ was purely a distraction. There is nothing so urgent in any of these three laws that calls for bypassing Parliament through an ordinance. These measures have been debated for decades and could wait a few months for Parliament to reconvene.

● Besides, it is not clear what gives the Modi government the power to legislate upon agriculture and intra-state trade, which are state subjects. True, trade and commerce of ‘foodstuff’ is in the concurrent list, but if states have the right to pass APMC Acts, surely they have the jurisdiction to bypass APMCs. In any case, there is not even a constitutional fig-leaf that gives the central government the power to legislate on contract farming. Prima facie, the FAPAFS is unconstitutional.

Trans fats

• Trans fatty acids (TFAs) or Trans fats are the most harmful type of fats which can have much more adverse effects on our body than any other dietary constituent. • These fats are largely produced artificially but a small amount also occurs naturally. Thus in our diet, these may be present as Artificial TFAs and/ or Natural TFAs. • Artificial TFAs are formed when hydrogen is made to react with the oil to produce fats resembling pure ghee/butter. • In our diet the major sources of artificial TFAs are the partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (PHVO)/vanaspati/ margarine while the natural TFAs are present in meats and dairy products, though in small amounts. • TFAs pose a higher risk of heart disease than saturated fats. While saturated fats raise total cholesterol levels, TFAs not only raise total cholesterol levels but also reduce the good cholesterol (HDL), which helps to protect us against heart disease. • Trans fats consumption increases the risk of developing heart disease and stroke. • It is also associated with a higher risk of developing obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, infertility, certain types of cancers and can also lead to compromised fetal development causing harm to the yet to be born baby.
